The INFRA program funds surface transportation projects of national or regional significance, including freight and highway projects and, in a separate FY 2026 track, commercial motor vehicle public parking. Eligible applicants include states, metropolitan planning organizations in urbanized areas over 200,000 people, local governments, transportation authorities, tribal governments, multi-state corridor organizations, and certain joint applicants. About $626.7 million is available, with a minimum award size of $25 million for large projects and $5 million for small projects. For regular INFRA projects, the Department will prioritize projects with total eligible costs of $150 million or more and a non-federal share of at least 50 percent; the commercial motor vehicle parking track has its own statutory federal share requirements. Track 1 funding is from FY 2023 and FY 2024 funds, and Track 2 is a dedicated $200 million set-aside for commercial motor vehicle parking projects.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
The primary goal of the Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and Highway Projects (INFRA) program is to fund surface transportation infrastructure projects of national or regional significance that improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of people and goods in addition to expanding safe, accessible public parking for commercial motor vehicles. The Department intends to execute project selections under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) utilizing approximately $626.7 million in available funding. Specifically, this total includes: • $319.8 million in FY 2023 INFRA funds; • $106.9 million in FY 2024 INFRA funds; and • $200 million in FY 2026 INFRA Commercial Motor Vehicle Parking funds. The Department intends to make project selections using the currently available resources identified in this notice, as well as any additional funding that may become available for the program. Funding is administered through two distinct tracks: Track 1 utilizes FY 2023 and FY 2024 resources to support surface transportation projects of national and regional significance, while Track 2 is a dedicated carve-out of FY 2026 resources specifically for commercial motor vehicle parking projects of national or regional significance. Applicants must clearly identify their chosen track in the Project Information Form, as each track is subject to different selection priorities. Each applicant may submit only one application . Unrelated project components should not be combined into a single application to meet this limit. If an applicant submits more than one application, only the first will be considered.
